What is the function of LSD?
1 Answers
The function of LSD is to ensure power transmission to the other wheel on the same axle when one wheel experiences slippage, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability and safety. Types of LSD include: 1. Torsen differential; 2. Helical gear differential; 3. Mechanical differential; 4. Eaton differential. The working principle of LSD: In a vehicle equipped with LSD, when the drive wheels spin, the LSD controls the power output to the wheels, preventing the spinning wheel from continuing to spin and allowing the other wheel to receive more power to help the vehicle move forward. During acceleration through a curve, the output torque and centrifugal force cause the inner wheel to lift off the ground or experience slippage, while the LSD transfers power to the outer wheel, helping the driver increase cornering speed and enhance handling performance.
